C. Garcia Sanchez is a researcher at Delft University of Technology within the Architecture and the Built Environment school, specializing in Urban Data Science. Their work bridges computational fluid dynamics, urban microclimate modeling, and building energy systems through advanced data-driven approaches.

Education includes a PhD in Physics from von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics and Antwerp University (2017), a Research Master in Fluid Dynamics from von Karman Institute (2012), and an Aerospace Engineering degree from Universitat Politécnica de Valencia (2011). Postdoctoral research was conducted at Carnegie Institution for Science.

Research focuses on urban data science with emphasis on

• High-fidelity computational fluid dynamics for urban environments
• Synthetic data generation for turbulence modeling
• Integration of building energy models with urban canopy systems
• Automated 3D building reconstruction for microscale simulations

Recent publications demonstrate expertise in creating efficient simulation workflows that address urban ventilation, climate resilience, and energy efficiency challenges.

Awarded the Outstanding Paper Award for 3D Processing & Visualization (2021) for contributions to urban simulation techniques. Research outputs include 19 publications, 3 datasets, and media coverage of digital twin applications for heatwave response.

Active in supervising research projects and developing computational tools for urban science, with recent work featured in Computers and Fluids, SoftwareX, and Building and Environment. Current projects involve creating high-resolution urban models that integrate meteorological data with human behavior simulations during extreme weather events.
